Sunlight Air to expand fleet, targets int'l routes by 2027

“We are planning that for 2027. We are looking at some narrow-body jets,” Sunlight Air Chief Executive Officer Ryna C. Brito-Garcia told reporters on the sidelines of the airline's aircraft launch last week.

The announcement came as the airline welcomed its newest aircraft — an ATR 72-600 — expanding its fleet to four.

The aircraft will be deployed on its existing domestic routes, including Clark-Siargao, Siargao-Cebu, Cebu-Busuanga, and Busuanga-Clark, and on the new Cebu-Siquijor route, which will operate four times weekly starting December.
